Simulation of Dynamic Systems with MATLAB and Simulink

Dr. Harold Klee received his Ph.D. in systems science from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1972, his MS in systems engineering from Case Institute of Technology in 1968, and his BSME from The Cooper Union in 1965. Dr. Klee was a faculty member in the College of Engineering at the University of Central Florida (UCF) from 1972, until his retirement from UCF in 2009. During his tenure there, he was a five-time recipient of the college’s Outstanding Teacher Award. He has been instrumental in the development of simulation courses in both the undergraduate and graduate curricula. A charter member of the Core Faculty of the Institute of Simulation and Training, which is responsible for developing the interdisciplinary MS and Ph.D. programs in simulation at UCF, Dr. Klee has served as the director of the UCF Driving Simulation Lab for more than 15 years, and he has been Editor-In- Chief of the Modeling and Simulation magazine for three years.

Dr. Randal Allen has over 25 years of industry experience and is currently the Chief Scientist for Lone Star Analysis, where he is responsible for creating and applying new technologies to maintain competitive advantage in the marketplace. His experience includes 6DOF aerodynamic simulation, modeling, analysis, design, integration, and test of navigation, guidance, and control systems. He is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). He is certified as a modeling and simulation professional (CMSP) by the National Training and Simulation Association (NTSA). Dr. Allen’s academic background includes a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Central Florida, an Engineer’s Degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from Stanford University, an M.S. in Applied Mathematics and a B.S. in Engineering Physics, both from the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign). He also serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering (MMAE) department at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, Florida.
